in trying to figure out how to put this year into words, many songs come to mind (surprise, huh?! haha). So, i thought i would share a few with you. it won't be many, but, whatever. i thought it'd be fun. :)
the first is now one of my favorite songs and is one that i listen to often and it truly has been and is my prayer. it is a song by barlow girl and is called, here's my life. the whole song is great, but, i will just share the chorus:
God I'm crying out tonight
Cuz I've given you my life
But I'm tired and I'm missing what's behind
So once more
Here's my life
I just absolutely love that! I have given my life to Christ, but, I have missed what is behind... yet still, all i want is for my life to be in HIS hands. I have learned a lot, but, one thing sticks out in my mind. and i will share that with you all in another song...:)
God is in control
We believe that His children will not be forsaken
God is in control
We will choose to remember and never be shaken
There is no power above or beside Him we know
God is in control
what a promise...and I have totally seen that promise illustrated to me so clearly this year! in everything, God's hand has been so evident. he is ALWAYS there and is SOOO faithful! I have learned also that HIS timing is so much better then mine and his plans are so much greater then anything i could even IMAGINE or dream up!! All i have to do is hand my life over to him and just trust! which, is definitely easier said then done...
ok, only 2 more songs to share! :) this one is not only having to do with the moving year, but, with life in general...
this is a natalie grant song and it is just awesome! its called make it matter...
Take my life
And lift me up to the sky
Take my dreams
And help me to fly
On the wings of possiblity
Come rewrite my history
Til its only You I'm chasing after
Take this life and make it matter
I love this song! most of these songs are centered around just giving my life over to him, DAILY! and letting him take the reigns. Which brings me to the final song. Another barlow girl (side note: if you haven't bought the new barlow girl cd (how can we be silent) then stop reading this and go buy it right now. its incredible!!) and its called, i don't regret. i am going to put all the lyrics up for this one because it is just a great song!! so, here it is...
They're telling me
They're concerned for the way I am living
That I'll miss it all
Why would I think that God is that trusting
I can't explain all the words He has spoken to my heart
Why I'd want Him more
I don't regret choosing You
And I'm not ashamed
That it's You who holds my heart
Why do we think
If we trust God to much He will fail us
Nothing has come
When I chose that in me I'd trust
Separate me
You have called out to follow you blindly
I won't fear Your leading me
And I don't regret choosing You
And I'm not ashamed that its You who holds my heart
You have shown my ever wandering heart what love is
What on earth is more important then to have all of You
And I don't regret choosing You
And i'm not ashamed that its You who holds my heart
So, that's all for now! hope to talk to all of you soon! LOVE!!
